Recommended (/best experience?) plank size?

[dlpardoposton]

I've got a lot of wood/construction materials available to setup.
So just curious to learn of anyone's preferred/recommended plank dimensions.

Length -
I've got a large room (3.5m+ x 4.5m+) so can probably use max supportable length - so also curious about maximum length recommended.

Just a Long 2x4 on two 24 packs of Mt Dew.

I was thinking a 2x4 (being 3.5" wide) would be too narrow. Guesing that like a 2x8(+?) might be better size.

Something quite narrow is like walking sideways/shimmy across vs facing body fwd & sort'a *staggerring* your feet.
Again - haven't tried it yet, going to in few hours.
So just wondering what people's experiences/preferences were for "best experience".

Note: In Richie's demo video it looks like the *plank* might be a bit wider.

Length -
Also wondering what's best for a max size room.

I guess I'll just go experiment. Be interesting to hear what others run into.

Hi! Thank you so much for purchasing the experience in Early Access. We found a lot of users need to shuffle their feet side by side to even walk it. So if you plan on showing family and friends, some of them will need to be able to do the "plank shuffle".

Thanks Toni!

BTW - Just tried it out with ~2x8in (72in long).
Going to experiment with longer/narrower.

Loving it so far - well worth the money! Off to write a review & then play with diff plank sizes this evening.

I bought a 2x8x8 which is just perfect

Glad to hear that worked good for you.

I went with similar, 2x8...but it was already cut short (xtra piece I had) to 6ft.
However, I've got some longer (& some slightly narrower) pieces so going to try that.

A longer walk, like you did, sounds better!
Q: Did you put it up on something?
I used a thick book on one end & sponges on other. Worked well & created bit of flex & wobble. ;)

Now could you please give those sizes of the plank in metric? :-D

Google is your friend!
I live in Canada - half-heartedly embracing the metric system for decades now! hehe ;)
